Now that I have emerged into the working world I have made a subconscious attitude choice towards work. This might change over the years but for now, I work to live. I am fortunate to have a job that I can clock in- put in my time clock out- and not think about it until my shift comes around again. For many people it is just the opposite. Their job has become the main focus of their life. In New York city for instance, the attitudes are most likely shifted towards "live to work". But at this stage in my life when I'm trying to get up off the ground work is just a means to an end. Money.
A phenomena that I have discovered is that Money and Time are inversely proportional. Pardon the nerdy term. But it's true! When you have to put in your hours at work to get money then all your time is eaten up by work and you can't use your money in a leisurely way. Your vacation is blocked out, precious isolated time. And with me- since my 90 days isn't past here at my new job, I won't even start accruing PTO until the end of September! Such is life.
But WOW that sounded a lot like complaining! I love my job. Sometimes it gets my adrenaline going, but I still am so grateful to have a job and I'm grateful for the education that got me this job.
peace and love! -Anna
